I don't understand why you're working back on the windshield, looks good on the old pictures.

They were not correct but the later split bus version, 15mm too high so kinda ugly without the front roof peak.
Very happy to see that you've done them again... so then it will be top notch !! Cool

Congrats for the great work Idea

Interesting - I haven't seen that spark plug tool with the VW and other writing on it before. Is it original or one you found?


I can safely assume that that small piece of metal sheet stamped one side of the tool on one of the hexagon sides is a holder for the bold or spark plug when installing or removing the same! A neat and perfect tool for a precision and calculated work! Cool one!

Just catching up on the last year's work - it's looking superb! A couple of questions for you:
How did you wrap the Semaphore coils? What did you use?
Is the board on the B pillar to be covered by headliner? How is it fixed? I have similar work to do on my bus.

Inspirational work - keep it coming please Smile
Chers,

Dave

Thanks guys!

bally (Dave), the work I'm doing is the result of many searches on the internet, especially here at Thesamba. And despite that I still make small mistakes in assembling this 3D puzzle Confused

Here in my country I have no Barndoor that I can use as a reference. I had the opportunity to be at Hessisch Oldendorf in 2013, I photographed many Barndoors and talked to their owners. So the answers to your questions will be based on this little experience.

Certainly we have here at Thesamba more qualified people to guide you.

a) I used cotton cloth to wrap the semaphore coils and glue resistant to high temperature;
b) Yes the B Pillar is covered by headliner and the cardboard has the purpose to smooth the covered area, hiding the irregularities of that surface. As soon as possible I'll take a pic to show you.

Great research and sharing - thank you - thanks for the links, most interesting and useful. Great to see the semaphores in action too!
